PRIDE STUDIOS PROVIDES DESIGN SOLUTIONS AND MANUFACTURES SPECIALIZED CAMERA PLATFORMS, HOUSINGS AND RIGS TO SUPPORT SINGLE CAMERA OR 3D SYSTEMS

MAD MAX :FURY ROAD

For the feature film ‘Mad Max IV - Fury Road’ Pride Studios was engaged to develop a 3D camera system.

The brief was to develop a system that provided a fast and accurate set-up that did not interfere with the film making process.

The solution for this problem was to develop a system that used post convergence technology , and physically separate the cameras and their housings from the data processing units.

Pride Studios developed a robust and bullet-proof camera housing and control system to accomplish this.

The system was required to maintain precise tolerances that would withstand the rigors of operating in a hostile environment including ambient temperatures of up to 50C, thick dust, and high shock and vibration loads when mounted onto high speed tracking vehicles, cranes, and helicopters.

Including the post convergence solution allowed Pride Studios to design a compact and robust front end which facilitates mounting on various platforms and rigs for use in action sequences.

Comprehensive camera trialing and testing conducted at Broken Hill has proved that the system performs flawlessly.
